Azerbaijan summons Iran ambassador after drone attack on Nakhchivan
Azerbaijan has summoned Iran’s ambassador after drone attacks were carried out from the territory of Iran on the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan, the Foreign Ministry said.
The ministry said two people were injured due to the attacks. It condemned the strikes and said Azerbaijan reserves the right to retaliate.
Earlier on Thursday, a source close to the Azerbaijani government told Reuters that missiles and drones flying from the direction of Iran fell on the territory of Nakhchivan International Airport. A fire started as a result of the incident, the source said, adding that an official statement would follow.
Video footage shared by the source showed black smoke rising near the airport terminal, which is about 10 km (6 miles) from the border with Iran.
